#OBI is committed to promoting inclusion and equity for all communities. As part of this mission, the institute has initiated the Islamophobia project. This project aims to tackle discrimination, xenophobia, and intolerance faced by Muslim Americans and the global Muslim community. Since the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia has evolved, shifting blame onto all Muslims for the actions of a few and becoming institutionalized in both policy and rhetoric. The project is dedicated to unmasking these complexities and challenging the power structures perpetuating discrimination. This #askOBI video features @EdAhmedMitchell, @alsadig, and Dr. Linda Hyokki as a summary of the Islamophobia Project.

A narrative that tells us that safety is achieved through more guns, bigger bombs, and military power is fraught and dubious. Alternatively, we envision a future where the earth and its inhabitants are put before the states and corporate interests. belonging.berkeley.edu/national-secur…

When Arab leaders met with @SecBlinken in Amman Saturday, the US Secretary of State said a ceasefire in Gaza will only enable more Hamas attacks. Jordan's @QueenRania says that stance is “endorsing and justifying the death of thousands of civilians” and “is morally reprehensible”

Here at the largest protest in Washington DC for Palestine in the history of the United States. We refuse to be intimidated. We refuse to be silent. End the genocide. End the occupation. End apartheid.
